62These looked for their registration among those registered by genealogy, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood as extraneous.
63And the governor told them that they were not to eat anything from the holy of holies until a priest should stand with Urim and Thummim.

67their camels, four hundred and thirty-five; the donkeys, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
68And when some of the paternal heads came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, they gave freewill-offerings for the house of God, to set it on its foundation.
69They contributed according to their means to the treasury for the work: sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand manehs of silver, and one hundred priests' gowns.
70And the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers and the gatekeepers and the temple-servants lived in their cities, as did all Israel in their cities.
